So this is really late, but my schedule’s been thrown off since my trip abroad.I made some resolutions.
- work out 3-5 times every week
- floss every night
- stop picking at my nails
- drink more water; 2 bottles a day
- takes notes in moleskin on what I did for the day
- have a picture to go along with it
- read more often; at least an article/chapter a day
- sleep early, wake up early; 6+ hours of sleep a night
- cook at least 5 meals at home a week
- breakfast
They aren’t difficult ones to follow, but somehow I can only follow one or two and the rest..?
I keep telling myself, “tomorrow, tomorrow”. My mentality the past few weeks has been as such. I need to pick myself up and move forward - do something. Do the last problem on this problem set. Finish the group project since no one else seems to give a shit anyways. Get my ass out in the morning to run. Apply for the research position applications due Friday.
It seems like I always need to kick myself to go anywhere.
This game of catching up, I wonder if it’s just in my head. While many are likely to be climbing up the ladders of the future, there are just as many falling off with splintered hands. The other night, I slept over a good friend’s house and we talked about how different college is from high school. How real it suddenly got and how much more real it will get when we step out into the real world of taxes, families, & responsibilities. We both feel like we’re always behind.
However, it is those who think they have done enough, who haven’t tried to change or grow up, who haven’t moved a finger that are really behind.
Life is about improving, constantly.
I strongly believe that those who refuse to bloom from their past will end up with splintered hands.
